There's No Crying in Basketball

What's good, Bleeps?! Didn't get to discuss last week's ep of Bball Slums. So, I'll do my best mash up of this week and last.

When we left off, Jen Williams had been smacked by the 2nd most comfortable assistant ever, Nia, who takes a close 2nd after Sweetie of RHOA fame. Jen left the event less than pleased, but she has the last laugh because she contacted local authorities and set a lawsuit in place to fight rachet with legal. I'm usually a card carrying member of the "See A Bish, Slap a Bish" brigade. However, I gotta say I like Jen's style on this one. She can't fight and we know it. Hit 'em where it hurts.....their Louboutin fund. One thing I can't get with though with Ms. Jen is the fact that her only ally seems to be psycho Kenya. Nobody likes Kenya. She ain't good for the team. Take it from me, Jen. Ditch!!!

In other news, Evelyn and Ocho are still frontin' like this marriage is really happening. Don't you just love how she tried to clean up their "open" relationship conversation a few eps back?! Sweetie, we heard you give permission to your man to go to the nearest pharmacy for protection if/when he steps out on you. No reneging. What's done is done. In this episode, they supposedly had 5 months until the wedding. Fast forward to today...did I miss something. I ain't seen no news announcing their nuptials. She did admit that even at 36 she isn't mature. PS Blog fam, that isn't hot. Act your age, not your shoe size....the immortal words of Prince.

Tami isn't up to much this week and neither are the other ladies. However, I have to wonder how far television has fallen when we see celebrealities going to mammograms and pap smears all on the camera. Is anything private anymore?? *says the reality tv blogger* I am all about women taking preventive measures, but do it privately. Her daughters' dance lesson with Royce was funny though. They should prolly just stick to a mike stand. SN: how did we go from "non-mutha-effing factor" to mammogram buddies?? Anyone?

Royce has embarrassed herself a number of times on this show. Tonight had to be the worst display of tantrums and shenanigans, yet?! She and her dad had a very candid conversation about her newest boy toy, Desmon. Her dad feels that she gets into relationships too quickly. I agree. She's had 3 serious boyfriends in 2 seasons. Nobody does that, boo. When daddy suggested that she acts slutty in front of her kid by kissing 3 or 4 different guys in a short time period, Royce loses it. We're talking groveling on the ground, begging for understanding, dying for a blessing type losing it. She begged her dad to let her be happy. Sweetheart, you are not 16 with your dad forbidding to let you go to prom with the high school misfit gang member. Chill. I was saddened and ashamed by Royce's display. For shame.

Next week, the Basketball Groupies head to Tahiti! 'Til next time....

Jersey Jabs

Hey Blovies!! How goes it?! Welp, last week Lexi kicked it off with the ladies of Dirty Jersey! That's right, the Real Housewives of New Jersey are back. They are just the right amount of rich mixed with a little rachet! Without further ado...

Jacqueline has been having problems with Ashlee since the beginning of time. However, up until recently, Chris Laurita (Jacqie's hubby) has been unmoved by Ashlee's antics. He's bought her car after car and dealt with her bull-ish. But, this season, even HE's sick of her. Finally!! They decided last week to cart her off to boot camp with her aunt and uncle in Las Vegas.  I, personally, think Vegas is the exact wrong place to send a wild-child, Kesha-like creature like Ashlee. Thankfully, she isn't my kid. This week Albie attempted dropping Kesha's twin off at the airport, but not without hearing 1001 excuses of anxiety and depression to keep her from making the journey. The complaints fell on deaf ears.....Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Jacqie threw a family/friend gathering. No shock Ashlee missed her flight and showed up at the house expecting to be welcomed. FAIL. Chris carted dat ass back the airport and made certain she hopped her butt on that plane.

At the party, the gang was all there including Melissa & Joe Gorga, Rich and Kathy Wakile, Caroline Manzo and gang (minus Albert), and Teresa and Joe Guidice. The party seemed to be going well until Teresa brought up that damned cookbook! I have never seen a cookbook cause so much raucous. Apparently, nobody told Teresa that writing a cookbook doth not equal writing a real book. There was a big blow up about the book at last year's reunion show. Teresa slammed just about everybody mentioned earlier and tried to call it a joke. Safe to say no one laughed. That fiasco ended and the guys went downstairs for a game. Juicy Joe Guidice bragged about how awesome he is for the -enth time until he attempted to compare height with Rich Wakile. You know Rich. The greasy guy Kathy's married to. Joe took the argument too far when he reached for Rich's balls (literally) and Rich put a nice shiner right on Joe's eye. That's the moment Rich gained a lil' respect from me. He is still greasy but a tiny bit less skeazy.

In other news, Housewives gone Popstars is still in full effect over at Bravo!. Melissa is not the first and won't be the last. She has recruited some top name producers to help her with her long-awaited sure to be platinum album. I can't! Her latest single is called "How Many Times" which is aptly named because I found myself thinking, "how many times are they gonna make us listen to this crap?". I know you guys watch and have opinions too. I'd love to hear what you think of her song. We got to see where Joey G. (Gorga) works and all the buildings he owns (each one named for his children). Blah blah blah.

Anybody surprised Teresa & Joe's pizza shop is closed? Who's the top business closer, Peter (RHOA) or Joe (RHONJ)?? You be the judge.

Next week, Teresa will face off with everybody for what I'm sure is more foolishness with the raciest cookbook ever written.

'Til next time....

xoxo, Christina Rose

R4R Update: Love & Hip Hop

Hot off the presses, blogworld?! Emily Bustamante of LAHH fame just tweeted that she will NOT be on the 3rd season of the VH1's hit show being taped now. In case you don't remember, Emily is the on-off girlfriend of rapper, Fabolous. She is also buddy buddy with show favorite, Chrissy. (Our Christina Rose is not a fan) She has two children, one of which with the entertainer. You can scroll thru our bevy of LAHH posts where we've called Em all kinds of dumb for the foolishness she puts up with where he's concerned. Not sure if we'll miss her or not. Nevertheless, if you want more info on her departure click the link below. Peace!

Reality 4 Real!!

Dirty Rumors and Looks, and Let's Not Forget the Mob Books!

I love these ladies!  Just had to say that.  They never fail to provide us with a strong dose of dramaaaaa!!!! *Big Ang voice* LOL!

Here we go!

 I think Renee should not be trusting Carla.  Last week, Carla sat with Drita, Big Ang, and a bunch of nail technicians they didn't know and proceeded to crucify Renee!  Now, Carla wants to be a good friend and make things right with Renee?  She did this crap last season!  Carla is so extra and unnecessary.  I think someone should replace her for season three.  

As for Ramona losing her jewelry to the Feds, I can understand why she's upset.  BUT who keeps $200,000 worth of jewelry in a duffle bag? Also, she can't make me believe that she didn't know her boyfriend was doing something illegal, so she should just consider this the downside of that life.  

Karen's book event last night was great!  I thought it was great that her brother was there to show his support.  I also thought it was shady how Drita didn't show up. The fact that this book makes Drita lose it makes me believe Karen's story more and more.  When people mention Karen's book, Drita acts like what she is: a bad friend who jumped on another friend's man as soon as she was out of sight.  Why else would the book bother her?  I hope something juicy and negative comes out about Drita.  Maybe she'll throw a right hook at that because we see she wasn't stupid enough to actually try to box somebody. LMAO!!

Oh, and Junior exited Renee's life and this show better than any lady or queen could.  He is bringing down the Mob house, y'all!  All of those arrests because of him?!?!  DAMN!!  Well, a woman scorned.....LMFAOOOOOOO!!!!!  : D

And, as usual, I must end this post by stating that I adore the hot mess that is named Big Ang.  That woman is one of the funniest people on TV!  LMAO!! I will definitely be watching and blogging about her spinoff (Oh yeah, she's getting one!) when it airs!

Until next time....

We're Going Back to DOOOITY JOOOOOOIIISSSEEEYYY!!

Welcome back to Jersey, everyone!!  The land of denial, garbage, suspected mafia activity, and the ugliest red hair dye ever!  <---Caroline, stand up!!!  LOL

Back in Jersey, it seems that Teresa's cookbook is still the topic of discussion.  I almost said "This conversation is lasting longer than Christmas did last season!" But I realize they were filming virtually non-stop last year.

When this episode began, I also realized that I don't like Caroline AND Lauren.  Lauren is turning into a carbon copy of her mom.  Why the hell is Lauren always preaching to Jacqueline about how to raise someone who is only 2-3 years younger than her?  Bitch, shut up!!  You can't possibly think you're the go-to person when it comes to raising children just because you now have a boyfriend who is your equal in doughiness. Ugh!  I wish Lauren would be a little more like Ashley in terms of having a unique personality from her mother.  We don't want or need two Caroline Manzos on TV.  NEXT!  Teresa definitely tried to mend things with Caroline, but something is really weird to me about that friendship.  I believe it has always been different since season 1 on Caroline's end.  In the beginning, Caroline loved Teresa.  She was her source of entertainment.  She thought Teresa and Joe were so cute and funny.  However, that disappeared somewhere around season two, and Teresa was still assuming it was there.  I don't know.  I think that friendship should just bite the dust.  It never was meant to be.  Move on and pass the pasta!

Personally, I'm Team Teresa all the way!!  I definitely believe that Melissa is with her brother for money.  I know that Kathy is jealous of Teresa.  Hell, even Kathy's husband talks about Teresa all the time like he's obsessed with her. Teresa may not have money at the moment, but she does have her fame.  And we all know that at the end of the day, most people just want to be relevant.  THAT'S why Melissa is on this show, right?  I mean, if she really was so much better than Teresa, she could go do anything and outshine her.  Yet, she chose to do so right next to her on this show.  That's why those idiots will never cash in on this show: they're too occupied with trying to play Teresa's game next to her.  Teresa is a beast!  She's gonna get you out of her yard at any cost. From what the previews have shown, the ladies will learn that I'm right about them and Teresa, as well. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

What's up with Joe Gorga not knowing his wife would leave him if she met a richer guy?  She would peace out so fast that you would think someone set fire to a Louis Vuitton store.  That is the woman who hugged the Rolex he gave her for Christmas more than she hugged him!  She was so busy playing dress-up and "model-model" that the kids barely got camera time!  Melissa is so annoying that it hurts.  I hope she pisses glitter and it hurts her like passing kidney stones.

Also, Joe Giudice is clearly cheating on Teresa and not caring if she or the kids know.  I have never seen a man be so calm on TV when his wife tells him that his oldest daughter thinks he's unfaithful to her mother!!  I hope he goes to jail.  Teresa, don't flip tables there!  We don't want you getting tazed!  LMAO!

The shore scenes and houses were all blah and nothing important, EXCEPT the scene when Teresa's aunt told them all to shut up and act like family.  She took the words out of my mouth!  That's what they should do: stop cooking and talking shit all the time!  GO ACT LIKE A FAMILY THEN MAYBE WE'LL BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY AND DO.  Just a thought. NEXT!

Finally, I thought it was interesting that Ashley now has blonde hair.  Hmm.....that's not a cry for help, Chris.  That's a nervous breakdown!  WTF?!?!?!?!  Anyway, this episode was kinda boring, and I expected more.  But mark my words, at the end of the day, *queue Scottish battle music* Teresa will rise again and seize your hearts and loyalty!  And she will be SCANDALOUS as she does it....mwahahahahahahaha!

Can't wait for this ride you guys!

P.S. I was happy to see Rosie.  She's always the comic relief of the show!  I hope they are paying her.  I don't want Rosie to be living with her mom forever!  LOL

Well...Another One Bites the Dust!

The ones who bit the dust: the season AND Sheree Whitfield's career (it's a stretch to call it that, by the way).

Well, since my partner-in-blog-crime Ms. Rose told you guys what she thought, I decided to stick to the two things that made me laugh at the Part 3 reunion: 1) Kandi & MarHO and 2) finding out that NeNe is the reason Sheree and Kim are on the show!  Scandalousssss.....

Let's begin!  Shall we?  First of all, I definitely believe MarHO is an escort.  She has not said that she does anything to make money.  From what we've seen and heard, she wants us to believe that she is living off of profits from assets acquired during a relationship with a billionaire, former lover.  Well, how would a woman with a criminal past encounter such a man? As history and Pretty Woman have shown us, it's usually through the exchange of certain types of human and sexual goods.  MarHO pisses me off!  How can she talk about anything Kandi has when Kandi clearly had to work for what she has??  MarHO, if you're reading this, work isn't work if you have to end up on your back before cashing in...or out.  ROTFLMAO!  Just saying.  As far as the comments about Kandi's house, who cares!!!  Kandi is so much nicer than me because I would have told MarHO then and there that she and her crabs would never have to worry about darkening my door step, regardless of where my zip code is.  Period.  Finally, why did MarHO bring up Kandi's man??  Hell, Kandi could date a wino and he would be better than the NFL gorillas that MarHO and Sheree sleep with!  C'mon!  MarHO, stay in your lane!  Good night and good fu...oops....luck.  Hahahahahahaha!

As for NeNe being the reason Sheree and Kim are on the show, I have to clutch my beloved pearls for that one!  How can Sheree and Kim be so willing to slap the hand that has fed them??  And in Kim's case, the hand that fed her until she could stop eating from someone else's fork (Big Poppa) and find her own fork (Kroy--for right now, that is).  I don't doubt what NeNe says is true: she definitely had to speak with someone about Sheree being on the show because Sheree is boringgggg!!!  SOOOOO BORING!!!! I'm sure she's had to go to bat for Kim a few times too because she was becoming irrelevant before Kroy!  Anyway, I think they should all look at NeNe and repeat after ME, "NeNe, thank you for our jobs." *Mama Joyce voice* LMAO!!

Before I bid you all farewell, what was up with Phaedra being too posh for school on this episode??  Never should she do that again.  Was she acting dead to promote her funeral home?  That sly freaking necrophile...............

SCANDALOUSSS...... : D

Until next year, HOTlanta!

It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to She by Sheree....

 NOT! Hey Bleeples?! I know you are as geeked as I am about this epic RHOA reunion. Leggo!!!

Cynthia Bailey-Thomas tried to solidify her spot on next season's roster. She and her milk dud yelled and screamed and yelled some more. Peter is a douche. What's worse...he's an old douche. Stop with the young lingo, dude. I bet he watches 106th and Park to keep up. Anybody hear him say Papa Smurf banking? Not according to my tv screen. It is not cute. He never acknowledged how rude he's been to Mal, and Cynthia continues to allow his bafoonery. This is why I laugh when she tries to step up to the plate with Kim or any other cast mate. Girl, bye?! You have not one leg to stand on. When asked what she's doing now since the show wrapped, she responded that she still owns the Bailey Agency and is Noelle's mom. Uh, DUH!! Who else would own it? I mean really.

Kandi provided slayings all around for these women. She served all kinds of shade starting with Sheree and ending with Marlo. I loved her telling Marlo it don't matter how many people she takes care of with HER money. I need for Marlo to remember that Kandi made hers while Marlo earns. There is a BIG difference. If you don't know, inbox me boo. Sheree had to eat her words about the Africa trip after Andy rolled the tape back. Kandi still went in though. She held her own. The only thing I didn't like was that she attempted explaining herself to Marlo. She is beneath. Forever and Always.

Kim sporting these jugs on national tv.....I can't ladies and gents. I just can't. It's almost equivalent to Lil' Kim's pasties. It's so unfair to the eyes. In other news, you know you've fallen off when Marlo can call you a whore and you barely retort. I mean, Marlo is an escort for God's sake. She is a paid date/nightcap. She shan't not be calling nobody a whore. I can't really stand Kim. So, talking about her is difficult. But, I would like mention that in a couple years when her uterus dries she will have a reality show called "The Ring Didn't Mean A Thing" to which I will watch and blog.

Phaedra and her husband are still planning foolishness. I found it a slight insensitive when she suggested that she got into the funeral business after a friend committed suicide. The disregard and excitement she shows for death doesn't suggest sorrow for her friend at all. Not in good southern taste, Mrs. Phaedra. Paula Deen would disapprove.

Andy threw a little more shade quietly as he saw Mrs. Sheree Whitfield off the show with her own montage of antics over the years. Don't be tardy for that failure! Oh oh.

Finally, NeNe talked about 97% of the show. If I have to hear she is on the show Glee one more time?! We know. While I find NeNe hilarious, I am over her foolishness most of the time too. She stays bragging about her successes, but if someone else succeeds it's all she wrote. I thought that scene with Andy showcasing Kim and NeNe's life switcharoo was tired. Sorry, Andy. Stop trying to make them be friends. It's not hot.

Welp, that's it for these ladies until next year. It's back to the Jersey!! 'Til then....

xoxo, Christina Rose
